Where Do Tiny Avatars Hang Out?

My avatar is not a tiny. It really looks like one at first, but it's normal beagle sized. However it works the same way tinies work by crushing the shape down to a mangled mess and then attaching prims.
What I didn't realize is you can't use normal animations in this state. The body either flies apart in a very ugly way or the built in AO trumps everything else. Presumably there are dances and so forth specifically built for each avatar. Normally to "dance" I just run around in little circles and supplement that with an occasional jump into the air.
I never had much desire to hang with similar avatars. I think it's just as fun to interact with the normal world - whatever that is.
@Jig It's not really a disadvantage when no one gets hurt even if trampled. It's just a different perspective is all. Some ladies worry about me looking up their dresses, and I have to assure them my camera angle is nearly the height of a normal human avatar. I think they confuse the crosshairs on the "Show Look At" function with the camera angle, but that's really just the camera's anchor spot.

From: Argent Stonecutter It's a little low-lag avatar scanner. Tells you who's in chat range, how far away they are, a little bit about their state (awake, asleep, typing). It also changes colors depending on how many avatars are in chat range. If I already have the MystiTool, I wouldn't need this, would I?

I'm really bad about competitive intelligence: pretty much all the stuff I sell is stuff I made for me over the years, that people though was cool enough to make me want to sell it. I wouldn't say you *need* it (or any of my stuff). I personally consider it essential or I wouldn't have taken the time to write it, but that's just me. If mystitool already has an avatar scanner in it, I would say no, you don't need it.

One problem with Mystitool is that it's so loaded with features, it uses a lot of resources, unbeknownst to those of us using it. When script memory kicks in, you may find yourself looking for a leaner widget that does only the things you need.

And I don't even use it for anything other than the radar scanner and flight assist, anyway! I will investigate a leaner, meaner fighting machine! Thanks for pointing that out about lag.

I really wish there was a way to configure it to only do what you want (although still be able to configure it differently in the future). Have a configuration notecard in the object to turn features on and off. A way to put it in permanent sleep mode too if we want. There are only a few features I routinely use, but I would be totally lost without them.

Unless mystitool has a bunch of scripts in it I don't think script memory will have much effect on it, and if it does you should be able to just remove extra scripts.

I think it must have alot of scripts, because when I go into some sims, I get a message from the sim that it is putting my MystiTool in sleep mode while I am in the sim. So it is doing something that contributes to lag, that must be turned off while I am there. When I leave that area, the MystiTool reverts to normal. I admit I don't know a lot about all the features it has. I don't use most of them. It is overkill for what I need. I just need flight assist and radar. It does let you rezz a pose stand on the fly, which is kind of cool, but not essential

That means it's either got a lot of scripts, or the scripts it has are very "busy".
If it's just got a few scripts but they're doing a lot of work in each script then the script limits shouldn't be a problem for it.

I am a tiny and there are many neat tiny sims. Raglan seems to be the most popular.
But i also like Tinytoriana, where tinies dress and live in a victorian themed setting, there is even a tiny train that you can take between stations.
Ragalan seems the best place to meet other tinies who can help you discover the whole tiny world.

Anyone know places to buy nice outdoor things for tinies? Send me some landmarks, if so.
I have swings, food vendors and a table and chairs, and a sofa that I don't really use because it doesn't really 'go' outdoors. Would be nice to have a few more things to scatter here and there.
I've got some empty spots in the park, but I don't want to put anything huge in those spots and make the land look too cluttered.

I'd be interested in furniture and accessories and animations for quadrupeds in particular. Most things seem to be made for bipeds. If you know of anything, or you sell things, please post!

There's less standardization in the "rigging" of quad avatars, so you'll probably find that accessories for (say) Wynx ferrets won't work with Maya's foxes or Cheetah's leopards.

I have a Wynx Tiny Pony/Unicorn. So if anyone knows of anything made specifically for the Wynx Tiny Pony, I would love to hear about it! (I do have the Abranimations saddle, and the TinyCam II already!)
